Folding Forum

Rest in peace Jimbo and thank you for all your help.

At first glance I'd say is a permission issue. But more impotantly: I doubt a Steam deck is suitable for Folding at Home. The software stresses the hardware way more than even modern games, especially GPUs (CPU usage for folding can be tuned better), and requires proper cooling. That is also why fo...

I don't know of any other distributed computing project which actually has a seperate description for every single project. BOINC projects often have weird names leaving you clueless. Even if a project doesn't have a description, you can be certain you're contributing to valuable science. I actually...

Great job!

Thank you a lot for your patience and all these info!

Why would you want to delete a WU?

Or the page with their published papers: https://foldingathome.org/papers-results/?lng=en

The Bowman lab is also working on developing new proteins: https://bowmanlab.seas.upenn.edu/

Dengue is a disease of interest for the FAH researchers (see https://foldingathome.org/diseases/infectious-diseases/dengue-fever/?lng=en), but I haven't seen any work for it in quite a while. I assume researchers could use PocketMiner to identify druggable sites in the diseases' proteins: https://po...

so home CPUs may finally have double the power when folding, if F@H writes a hypothetical Core_A9. A9 is not hypothetical but already being worked on. It will offer support for GPUs. Maybe there will be a version supporting GPUs, but that A9 test core failed to work out. The developer of that versi...

Oh, I misunderstood your post. Bruce hasn't been active for 4 months, I hope he's okay.

I no longer wish to be a beta team member.
It has become clear the beta team has been abandoned as nobody is handling it.

Beta testers only post something when they experience problems with a certain WU.

Afaik the last two digits of the project number indicate sub projects of the main subject. So 182xx are all Alzheimer's. Basically, here's the list of all projects, although I don't see any indication what projects are actually active atm: https://apps.foldingathome.org/psummary Yeah I based this l...

Hi all! I thought it would be interesting to have a list of topics/diseases that are actively being researched by FAH and the relevant project numbers. I came up with this, any additions are welcome! COVID-19 (Omicron variant): 17258 Alzheimer's disease (ApoE proteins): 18213 Cancer (kinases): 16489...

No one will stop you to give a financial donation to FAH

Also: the more people who get infected, the bigger the odds of a new dangerous mutation.
